Version 2.0
* Added an HighAscii filter for ASCII users. 'ê' is translated into 'e' and
such..
* Added AVATAR support
* Added an optional -P:*P commandport override toggle at the commandline.
* ALL the commandline toggle now have an indentifier:
-T:<remaining time> (*T)
-P:<Use commport> (*P)
-N:<Node> (*N)
-U:<UserName> (Use underscore for spaces!)
-AREA:<UseAreaNr> (1..200)
-F:<Flags> (NY,YY,N?,Y?)
* This news also contains my new improved internal screen-driver which
support ANSI/AVATAR and even ANSI-music.. (Put a tune in the message of
the day..;-)
* All the files are now opened READ-ONLY/SHARE DENY NONE, which means that
not only things will work ok under Share control on a multiline setup now
(Which it didn't.. sorry..) But also that network users should have to
load Share if the network software controls these things itself.
* Added an use share override environment variable USESHARE. If you add
USESHARE=OFF to your environment, none of my doors will complain about
share missing anymore. They will no longer apply recordlocking, but will
depend completely on the filemode bits..
- USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! -
==============================================================================
Version 1.3 (1.2 was also kept internal, due to lack of time.. ;)
* Blush.. Ashamed to say it, but a bug of enormous stupidity has been
solved.... I (Blush) used the Multiline toggle in the CONFIG.RA file
to see from where I had to read the.. (low voice) config.ra...
As the record structure was cleared before, this couldn't work
ok in a multiline setup under f.e. Desqview.. (On lan's the config.ra
is always (I guess) in the directory where the RA env. var is pointing..)
Sorry to all the ppl who had strange problems with my doors under DV.
(Altough only 1 persone complained and went through enourmous efforts to
help me to find out what was wrong.. Thanks Jos!)
==============================================================================
Version 1.2 (1.1 was an internal beta copy)
* Added a flag to make it possible for News to mimic the look of the
newmail scan.
* Added an other flag to hide the LiveSystems header line while searching
for the first bulletin.
* Tag and originlines are filtered out. This makes it possible to create a
News echomail area..;-) (and it looks better too)
